India declared freedom from slave mentality: Modi after inaugurating Swarved Mahamandir

PTI, Dec 18, 2023, 1:48 PM IST

Inaugurating the world’s largest meditation centre Swarved Mahamandir here on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the country has declared freedom from the slave mentality and is feeling proud of its heritage.

“In the era of slavery, the oppressors who made an effort to weaken India first targeted our symbols. After Independence, re-building of these cultural symbols was essential,” he said.

Modi said that after India gained Independence, “there was an opposition to the rebuilding of the Somnath temple and this thought process remained dominant for decades.” The result of this was this was that the country slipped into the pit of an inferiority complex and forgot to feel proud of its heritage, he said.
